DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

National Definition for a Zero 

Emissions Building: Part 1 Operating 

Emissions Version 1.00m Draft 

Criteria; Reopening of Public Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Request for information; 

reopening of public comment period. 

SUMMARY: On January 9, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) published 

in the Federal Register a Request for 

Information (RFI) regarding the creation 

of a standardized, verifiable basis for 

defining a zero emissions building by 

the White House Office of Domestic 

Climate Policy (Climate Policy Office), 

through DOE. The RFI provided for the 

submission of written comments by 

February 5, 2024. This notice announces 

a reopening of the public comment 

period for submitting comments in 

response to the RFI through March 6, 

2024. 

DATES: The comment period for the RFI 

published on January 9, 2024 (89 FR 

1086) is reopened. DOE will accept 

comments, data, and information 

regarding this RFI received no later than 

March 6, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Responses to this RFI must 

be submitted electronically at https://

forms.office.com/g/Y0Ss3UFdL3. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Hayes Jones, U.S. Department of Energy, 

Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy (EERE), Building 

Technologies Office, Commercial 

Buildings Integration, (202) 586–8873, 

Hayes.Jones@ee.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2024, DOE published in the 

Federal Register a request for 

information (RFI) regarding the creation 

of a standardized, verifiable basis for 

defining a zero emissions building by 

the Climate Policy Office, through DOE. 

The RFI does not pertain to a 

rulemaking action. In addition to other 

net-zero emissions, economy-wide goals 

by 2050, within the building sector, the 

Biden-Harris Administration has set the 

goal to make zero emissions resilient 

new construction and retrofits comment 

practice by 2030. Accomplishing these 

goals will require increasing efficiency 

and expanding clean energy capacity. 

Zero emissions buildings will plug into 

a grid that is rapidly becoming cleaner. 

The American Gas Association, 

American Public Gas Association, and 

National Propane Gas Association 

(‘‘Joint Requesters’’) have requested a 

30-day extension of the comment period 

to allow additional time for preparation 

of their comments. The Joint Requesters 

explain that they provide the energy 

needed to fuel residential, commercial, 

and industrial buildings and are thus 

stakeholders in this proceeding. The 

Joint Requesters explained that they 

need additional time to develop 

comments that sufficiently analyze the 

impacts of the proposed definition and 

because limited staff available during 

the comment period would make it 

difficult to develop comments in 

response to the RFI. Similarly, the 

National Association of Home Builders 

requested an extension of the comment 

period because of staffing limitations 

and concerns over the definition for 

which they would like additional time 

to provide feedback. 

DOE has determined that reopening 

the public comment period is 

appropriate based on the foregoing 

reasons. DOE will consider any 

comments received by 11:59 p.m. 

(Eastern Standard Time) of March 6, 

2024, and deems any comments 

received by that time to be timely 

submitted.
